Is there a better way to run it? I also have a synology NAS I could run to- not sure if that's better or not, and why it would be. I have the NVR, might as well use it, right?

^^^ THIS WORKED!!!! ^^^ Dude, YOU ROCK! THANK YOU!

OK- progress. My cameras are working fine. I see them directly on the NVR, as well as the web browser interface for the NVR. However, BI is not picking them up or able to connect to them. I'm at a loss here... The cams are located on the NVR's internal network ip at: 192.168.254.2, 4, 7, 8...

So- my last router/switch was NOT POE, and it worked just fine. The cameras are going into the NVR directly. The NVR is connected to the network. Once I had the IPs, BlueIris found the cameras easily. In theory, I shouldn't need a POE switch now- it should work just fine like it did previously...

No, I don't believe my router is POE... not sure what an injector is.

Yes, I have the same setup- cable going from a POE port to my LAN... my router should be picking those up, right?

Thanks Randy! This is a HUGE help... HOWEVER- I scan both my internal LAN (192.168.110.xxx) & what I thought the NVR is conencted to (192.168.254.xxx) and it finds NO cameras/NVR. Weird huh? I know the cameras are on, as I can see the IR turned on. I don't have a monitor hooked up to the NVR-...

Sorry guys- still not able to figure this out. Can you help? I've been trying for days now- just not able to connect to my cams with my new modem/router setup. Where do I start? How do I find the IP addresses of each cam? I know how to configure BI once I have those IPs I think... THANK YOU!

They are. They worked great for about a year until I changed the modem/router out. It seems like the IP may have caused issues, but not entirely sure, nor how to correct it...

BTW- in the web portal- there's a link next to each cam that says 'connect'. But I've tried every password I know, and can't get in. Any way to reset or find that password? Thanks!

When I use SADP, I only see my NVR in there- no cameras... I go to the NVR web portal- it shows the cameras at: 192.168.254.xx HOWEVER- my new router has all connected devices at: 192.168.110.xx In the web portal, I changed the IP of one of the cams to: 192.168.110.100 - but nothing changed...

Yeah, they're offline so they're not showing up. How do I get them online?

Actually, I found the IPs via the Hikvision NVR webportal. However, they all say offline. I can't seem to be able to get them online- suggestions?

I've been using BI and my Hikvision NVR/Cams for a long time now... soo long that I can't remember how to re-install them! I re-did my network, and all the IPs of my cams changed. I can't seem to figure out how to find the IPs of each cam again. Can someone enlighten me? Thank you!

What is BI Tools? I have 5 Hikvision cams running to an NVR. Then I have 2 AmCrest Cams as Nanny Cams (unrecorded). I don't really need the AmCrest recorded- wouldn't hurt, but, really we use it to spy on the kids to make sure they're sleeping :) All of them are pulled into BI just to watch...

Meaning, I'm only using BI to watch the cams in real time- NOT recording individual streams. I'm not recording any of the cameras... so, with that said, do I still need a separate PC to run it without crashing?

ok. Will do- thanks again... question tho- does it change anything if I'm ONLY using BI to view my cameras? I'm not recording anything...

OK will do. I'll search and buy something new. Thank you!

WOW! I wish I had known that before I purchased it! Ugggghhhh. So, I need to build a separate PC just to run BI? Any specific requirements I need to know about? I might be able to scrap something together for this, but don't want to build the wrong thing. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!! I really...

Right... but what about all the settings and programs I've installed- those would all be wiped out, correct?

Is there a file, or driver that might be damaged/missing in which a clean install fixes? I'd like to avoid the clean install if at all possible... ;)

It is not exactly. Custom built machine, had Win 7 on it previously then upgraded to 10. Shouldn't all the software/drivers be clean installed with the BI Installer?

Intel i7-3770k 3.50ghz 64-Bit Windows 10 16gb ram

No acceleration. On an i7 w/ 16gb ram. I don't think I'm using up all the memory...

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure, to be honest. How do I find that out?

ok, a couple things- I've purchased the full version, and it's the latest update. The log file only says "Restarted after unexpected shutdown". There's no reason or explanation. What can I do to correct this?

ha! Thanks! I thought I posted before, but couldn't find it this time. That was for the demo, I went ahead and purchased it hoping it would resolve it, but nope...

BI keeps crashing on my Windows 10. It runs a few hours, sometimes 12-14 no problem... then crashes. Sometimes it even bluescreens my entire PC. How do I go about diagnosing and correcting the problem? Thank you!

OK- seen this, but wasn't sure if this would in fact, allow the IP Cams & NAS access the way I'm wanting to do. I'll keep reading and post back. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, BTW... ;) Also- forgot to mention- the IP Cams are NOT running to the NAS in any way, I'm not recording anything. They're just our nanny cams to watch our kids- but want them secure so no creepers can spy on us! :) Thanks for the help!
